How shutter motor replacement works, and what to ask for
Key switches, wall switches, receivers and remotes can be replaced or upgraded at the same visit. A failed motor on an otherwise sound shutter is usually far cheaper to replace than the whole shutter.
Industrial direct-drive motors can be replaced with a matching or compatible unit on most doors. After a new motor is fitted, safety devices and limits are tested before handover.
Options we can specify
- Safety checks on handover
- Motors matched to curtain weight
- Limits set and tested
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Obstacle detection options
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades

Rules in England
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.
